Message from the President

President’s Message — Summer is here …

The signs of summer are upon us, bringing a feeling of appreciation as we all prepare to travel and enjoy all those summertime events we enjoy.  Although this summer has given us too many rainy days, we tend to appreciate the good days even more!

Along with all that travel and fun, 24/7 Banking options with Online and Mobile Banking become even more important to fit our lifestyle.  We encourage all our customers to take advantage of the multiple ways available to do your banking on your own time.  And of course, we encourage you to visit any of our local branches and have the opportunity to work with a live person with a friendly face.

Speaking of upcoming travel, our well-established Golden Rewards program is still going strong with a complete list of trips for the year.  Our own Jackie Roberts has been traveling all summer along and has a trip to Nashville coming up this Fall.

Our Heroes Bundle is another way that we can reach out to a particular group with added products and services designed to match the financial lifestyle of veterans, active military and first responders.

And our blog has continued to take on a fun and unique approach with our blog mascot represented by a furry favorite – a dog. Our customers and employees participated in naming our mascot “Cache” and he shares his thoughts about what is happening at Partners Bank along with what is happening in the digital age of banking.  Furthermore, our dedication to community support has continued on with donations to many local animal shelters and rescues.

For me, summer also means getting outside and being active, catching a sports game – anything to soak up the summer weather. (Ouch, with all the rain we’ve been getting, the word “soak” may not have been a good choice here!) Once again Partners Bank has proudly sponsored the Sanford Mainers baseball team, a summer collegiate team that plays throughout New England with college athletes from all over the country. Each year our employees gather at one of these games to put work aside and enjoy each other’s company, all while enjoying the nation’s favorite pastime.  This event is always a family favorite of our staff.  Partners Bank is the sponsor of the Home Run Hits for the Sanford Mainers, paying $100 for every home run made by a Sanford Mainers player at a home game.  The proceeds will go to Grahamtastic Connection, a wonderful organization that provides free laptops, iPads, robots and internet access to seriously ill children for educational purposes.

Enjoy your summer and hope to see you soon!
